Baseplate Style

Forged - Forged baseplates are compression molded, making them lighter, stronger, and more impact resistant in comparison to cast or poured-mold baseplates. Forged materials have a tighter molecular structure, which provides a stronger ride with less material. Forging also eliminates most common manufacturing defects and imperfections.

Axle/Kingpin Style

Hollow Axle & Kingpin - Hollow axle trucks cut down on the materials used in the axle, so your trucks feel lighter. Hollow kingpins further reduce weight while still maintaining strength in this critical area.

Non-Compatible Risers

Risers from the following brands are not compatible with the baseplates of these trucks.

Loaded, Paris

Sizing Reference

Note - Every skate truck brand represents their sizing a little differently, so it's easy to get confused. Take a look at this graphic and then reference the size chart.

Details

No Hang-Up Yoke - An enhanced yoke around the cushion seat takes the kingpin out-of-play on grind tricks like feebles and smiths.

Lifetime Guarantee - Covered under manufacturer lifetime guarantee against breakage defects in hanger/base materials or workmanship. This lifetime warranty DOES NOT cover broken trucks due to abuse or neglect, damage caused by any modification done outside the manufacturer's facility, or lost or worn out parts due to lack of hardware maintenance.

Fantastic truck

Independent Forged Hollow Stage 11 Skateboard Trucks - silver 149

I’ve been riding thunders for a little over a year but when I sized up to an 8.5 I decided to get some bigger trucks. The 149 hollows are the perfect weight for me cause I had some trouble locking into coping on higher transition on my thunders, but with these I have no problem. My only complaint about these would also apply to any other truck, and that’s that it takes about 4-6 hours of skating for the trucks to completely break in. (Did I mention that 50-50s on concrete ledges feel like heaven?) a great product for the money, the best way to spend 50 bucks in the market of trucks

Returning skater. Got these for my Lasek deck. Theyrenlighter than the trucks I've owned long time ago.

Asked by Jeremy on 7/11/2017

Any idea what the mounting holes are spaced at? I have a deck that the mounting holes are 2.5" apart and I think most trucks are shorter than that now.

These are the new sized mounting holes are 2 1/8th apart center to center. If you go up to the size 159 stage 11 they will have the mounting holes that would fit your board

Asked by Mat on 7/2/2017

Question about warranty; usually when my trucks crack I'll keep skating em till I need to get a new pair, but out of curiosity as that just happened to me today (the axle broke, just from ware and tare) does that disqualify me from warranty?

That would depend on how the axle broke and you are more than welcome to email pictures to [email protected] so we can review your truck and let you know if it is covered by warranty.
